Chapter 699 — A Knight Who Eternally Regresses

Chapter 699

On the outskirts of Zaun, Encrid engages in a high-level spar with Hescal. During the duel, Encrid experiences a breakthrough in his swordsmanship, formalizing a third technique that turns coincidence into intent—a method of utilizing every unexpected situation to his advantage. Hescal, utilizing a deceptive style involving a shield and a hidden blade, recognizes Encrid's immense talent and the necessity of his combat experience. Following the duel, Encrid reflects on recent events, hypothesizing that the recent attack on Ann was a random, opportunistic strike rather than a calculated plot. After the sparring session, Hescal discusses the political and defensive state of Zaun with Encrid. Hescal expresses concern that while Zaun is excellent at honing individual talent, it lacks a formal structure to resist external pressures, suggesting the need for a more proactive defense system to counter the Empire's influence. This conversation highlights the tension between Zaun's focus on individual growth and the looming necessity of organized defense. Meanwhile, Anahera declares her ambition to become a Knight, driven by a desire to fight stronger opponents. The chapter concludes with a sense of impending doom, as Alexandra notes their shared love for Zaun, and Encrid observes the ominous, storm-heavy sky, sensing that a great conflict is approaching.
